Rexo, the Brave Defender military working dog.

Man’s best friend takes to the front. US Army canines deployed in Afghanistan with their handlers. Note the anti-glare goggles both our 4-legged friends wear. Dogs are indispensable in explosives discovery and picking up the scent of otherwise invisible enemies. And just like all soldiers, they are exposed to injury and death with the same bravery and stoicism.
